Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 (4-ounce) wild salmon fillets, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced leeks

Directions

  1. Whisk 1 cup cider and 1 tablespoon mustard together in a small saucepan. Stir in ½ tablespoon each rosemary, thyme, sage and pepper, ⅛ teaspoon salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until the cider has reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; add 1 tablespoon butter and stir until melted.
  2. Season 2 salmon fillets with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up; cook until the fish flakes apart easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes per side. During the last 2 minutes of cook time, add leeks. Baste the salmon with the sauce. Serve the salmon with the sauce drizzled over it.
